The caverns vary from narrow to wide—some passages are so tight that only one person can squeeze through, while others open up to areas exceeding 300 square meters. Inside, there are abundant karst formations and stalactites, some resembling lions, horses, and other shapes, all bizarre and spectacular, rivaling the beauty of Mount Lu’s "Immortal’s Cave."
